Here is something else to blow your mind. Gasquet is still using the LM Instinct but now HEAD is making them without LM Ridges.:shock:
So it would appear that Wilson is blatantly coping the HEAD Original Instinct Mold or taking OG Instincts and painting them as Juice for Azarenka.

WOW great find vsbabolat!! Looks exactly like the shape of the instinct. If I remember correctly, gasquet, azarenka, yen hsun lu uses this frame, but it seems that yen hsun lu stills use one with the liquidmetal ridges here

Perhaps TW should change their product pages from "Pros Using this Racquet" to "Pros Using Racquets Painted to Look Like this Racquet"

Don't blame TW, the manufacturers themselves decide who endorses a particular racquet. How could TW actually know for sure what's under the paint? I guess hiring vsbabolat could help Lots of these pro frames aren't even on the market anyway.

I meant it more or less as a joke. Beyond TW not knowing for sure what is under the paint, they would also risk the wrath of the manufacturers. But, if someone wanted to raise a stink about truth in advertising, they would probably have a case.

I did notice that for the Juice Pro that it is no longer claimed to be used by JMDP, and that when you click on him it shows the K Factor instead.

this is true. sadly enough, none of the pro frames are on the shelf as of March 2012. Kvitova, Azarenka, Djokovic,Murray,Rafa, RF, Masha,....and a long list of top pro players use pj and their frames were discontinued years ago. Not TW s fault, but the shameful marketing scheme by head and wilson to take the blame.

But it is obviously some misleading advertising, right ? (not sur of the expression to use in english)
I mean, why a consumer association could not make a significant issue of this ?

Azarenka is actually using the real Juice racket. Its not a paintjob, i remember reading that she switched right before Australian Open. It was in this months tennis magazine when they did a review on the Juice.

Only way to be really sure is to buy her racket from her autographed or pick up one of her rackets after she gets mad and breaks it and throws it in the garbage can.

It's 100% that Azeranka is using a paint job. Her racquets have no PWS, 18x19 string pattern and the exact same mold as the original HEAD Instinct with out LM ridges.

I was watching some women's 3.0 doubles clinix today on my lunch break and 3 of the Women were Juicing. It has clearly crossed over in to the women's rec marketplace with the Aza promos. This stick will alter the course of 3.0 women's tennis.

too bad they went for it. wilson and head are two of the biggest scam who have the most shameful market department. The last wilson I got was k90 and the last head I got was MG rad mp(heavy customized to be playable)

Why does Gasquet's handle look so "untidy"? You can literally see the pallet, then leather, then overgrip in "telescoping" layers. Quite weird!

it's a supersticious thing. for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSon-gazvKo
At 5:30 Nate Ferguson starts to explain how Stan Wawrinka never wants the overgrip to cover the entire grip
Also, as Gasquet had some serious blisters in the past, he changes overgrip very often and because Tourna Grip is so small and he does it so fast, he doesn't take the time to cover it all up
